OldGardener said:No, not at all. When I uploaded my first image, I took Deb's suggestion (post 24 on this page - "I would also like to encourage folks to use the Comment section to begin a conversation about their particular image. A good starting spot would be to describe the site and soil conditions so us onlookers might glean some tips to apply to our own beds.) and added exposure, soil etc. information to my photo. As I have been looking at other image sets, I have noticed that some people are adding this information in the comment section but it sometimes gets lost among other threads in that same comment section. Part of the problem, I think, is that we all title our thread that gives this information something different. I was wondering if, when we upload an image set, if we could fill out a comment-type section then (optional, of course Smiling ) that would be displayed along with the photo and plant list - rather than a thread buried amongst other threads in that Image Set's comments section).


I really like this idea. It would be an addition to the tagged photo if I am understanding correctly. It would be attached to it, maybe below the list of plants?

Bonehead said:Zuzu, I would lean toward the 'forever' response time on other garden web sites. And, yes, I do appreciate not only the fact that Dave responds promptly and courteously, but he also listens open mindedly to ideas/suggestions/critiques of new features. I get so weary of the unnecessary personal attacks and rude comments on other social networks - it appears the anonymous factor tends to throw all civility out the window. I commented about this once to my son, noting how refreshing it is to have a polite discourse on various subjects on my garden site, and he looked at me rather askance and said, 'What do you expect, they're all gardeners...' Which I took as a huge collective complement for us all!

I agree
Yes, it creates an atmosphere of learning and testing new ideas. And in the process is forming real bonds between the people in this community. Hurray!
